Elegant Georgian townhouse, located in a most desirable part of Woodstock.
20 Park Street is an elegant, Georgian, terraced townhouse, listed Grade II, situated in this most sought after position. With origins dating to the early 19th century, it is understood it was built for a Thomas Higgins, a carrier, who built 20 and 18, the adjoining property, as a single dwelling known as Haddon House. Of Flemish bond brick, with limestone ashlar dressings to the front under a Welsh slate roof, the property provides accommodation over three floors. During the Victorian era, Haddon House was split into two separate dwellings and today retains many delightful hallmark Georgian features such as 6 pane sash windows, heigh ceilings and bright rooms.
From the welcoming reception room, with oak flooring and gas wood burner, is the study/music room. With high ceilings and open fireplace it has built in cupboards and shelving alcoves. The kitchen, with range style electric induction hob/oven, opens out to the conservatory/dining room, a most enchanting light room, with doors opening out to the garden and a wood burning stove. On the first floor the sitting room, with high ceilings, open fireplace and built in cabinetry has two large sash windows overlooking the street scene below. Also on the first floor is the family bathroom and a double bedroom. Rising to the second floor, the principal bedroom has wooden floors and sash windows with window seats. Also on the second floor there is a shower room with ingeniously concealed laundry facilities, and a third double bedroom.
Outside, delightful walled gardens are well stocked with mature shrubs. There is a terrace area and secret' garden beyond. At the side of the garden, there are discrete covered stores for logs, bins and bikes.
The property is entered from Park Street, through a door to covered passageway. Neighbouring no.18 has pedestrian right of access through the side door and passageway.
Resident's parking permits are available on request to the local council.
